Agricultural students in post-secondary education are eligible to compete for up to $15,000 in total scholarship awards for next year through the Accelerating a Generation Syngenta Scholarship Program, according to a news release.

Syngenta invites eligible university students to apply for six regional awards of $2,500 each, now offered in partnership with the National FFA Organization. Scholarship recipients will be announced in spring 2021. 

Students can apply by visiting the FFA Scholarship Portal at https://www.ffa.org/participate/grants-and-scholarships/scholarships/. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 14.

University students and incoming freshmen pursuing bachelor’s or associate degrees in crop-related agricultural disciplines are eligible to compete for the Syngenta scholarships. Applicants must be U.S. residents enrolled as of fall 2021 in an accredited agriculture program at a land-grant university. FFA membership is not required.
